We Gave Teachers $100 to Buy New Work Clothes. Here’s What They Bought.

Looking great, you all!

We know what a challenge it can be to choose a great teacher outfit. If you teach younger grades, thereā€™s the glitter factor. Not to mention sitting on a carpet at storytime, but still wanting to look professional for parent-teacher conferences. And if you teach older kids, you want an outfit that is contemporary and polished yet doesnā€™t invite too much commentary from the peanut gallery.

Plus, thereā€™s the reality of living on a teacher budget. Thatā€™s why our new #teacherootd blog series will explore awesome teacher outfits that you can pull together for $100 or less. Todayā€™s crew found their looks from Target, but stay tuned for posts from more of your favorite retailersā€¦and even the thrift store.
